Walking Around, Karlsplatz, Vienna, Austria

A Wiener Eiskaffee (Viennese iced coffee) to start the day!


Karlskirche (St. Charles' Church), a baroque structure famous for its elongated ellipsoid dome and bas-relief columns.  This design is the result of an architectural competition sponsored by Roman emperor Charles VI.


Karlskirche from afar.  If you will notice, the columns look something like Trajan's column in Rome because they were really modeled after it.
